Boutique Bow

For the longest time I have been wanting to make a bow that looks like a Minnie Mouse bow. Finally today, I broke out my graph paper and drew her bow the best I could… Then I tried to draw it as a flat piece and realized it would be a lot simpler to put together than I imagined! This free crochet bow pattern measures 5.5 inches wide.

Get started!Row 1: CH 4. Skip 1 CH. SC into next 3 CH. CH 1, turn. (3)Row 2: HDC into first stitch. SC into the next stitch. HDC into the next stitch. CH 1, turn. (3)Row 3: 2 HDC into the first stitch. SC into the next stitch. 2 HDC into the next stitch. CH 1, turn. (5)Row 4: DC into the first stitch. HDC into the next stitch. SC into the next stitch. HDC into the next stitch. DC into the last stitch. CH 1, turn. (5)Row 5: 2 DC into the first stitch. SC into each of the next 3 stitches. 2 DC into the last stitch. CH 1, turn. (7)Row 6-7: DC into each of the next 2 stitches. SC into the next 3 stitches. DC into each of the next 2 stitches. CH 1, turn. (7)Row 8: DC-2-TOG. SC into the next 3 stitches. DC-2-TOG. CH 1, turn. (5)Row 9: DC into the first stitch. HDC into the next stitch. SC into the next stitch. HDC into the next stitch. DC into the last stitch. CH 1, turn. (5)Row 10: HDC-2-TOG. SC into the next stitch. HDC-2-TOG. CH 1, turn. (3)Row 11: HDC into first stitch. SC into the next stitch. HDC into the next stitch. CH 1, turn. (3)For rows 12-21 you will just repeat rows from 2-11.Row 22: SC into next 3 stitches.Edging- CH 1, SC around the entire edge.Finish off leaving long tail.
Weave in your starting end. Take your finished off end and attach it to the other end of the bow. You can also go ahead and secure the middle of the bow with this end.. but it isn’t required. Weave in your end and finish off.

Middle BandRow 1: CH 4, turn. Skip one CH. SC into next 3 CH. CH 1, turn.Row 2-8: SC into next 3 stitches. CH 1, turn.Finish off leaving long tail.
Wrap the band around the middle of the bow. This will be a snug fit. Using yarn tail and yarn needle, attach both ends of the band together. Weave in your end and finish off.

You can also make these bows using worsted/medium weight yarn and a 5MM/H crochet hook like Aledria Lay Brown did! Thanks so much for sharing your photo Aledria!

I was wondering if you might have a video on how to make this, I’m having some difficulty with trying to do the bow. I’m not as experienced in crocheting but I do know enough to somewhat decipher most of the pattern. I’m fine until I get to row 4, after that I’m having some difficulty continuing.

Hi
I am in love with this pattern . I have made many. I am actually trying to enlarge it so that it may measure about 11 or 12 inches. I tried to tweak your pattern to make it work but could not. I am willing to pay for a pattern if you could explain to me how to do it. Please let me know either way I case you can’t so I can find another pattern. I am creating a Minnie Mouse blanket for my new Grandblessing and the bow has to be large
Thank you in advance
